i'm fredericka whitfield, and we begin with this breaking news. a powerful and historic storm bearing down on southern california. right now we are getting our first images as tropical storm hilary slammed baja california, in mexico. intense rain causing massive flooding there. mexican officials say at least one person is now dead after their vehicle was swept away. hilary is expected to hit the u.s. later on today. officials warn the storm can bring life-threatening flooding and some areas can see up to ten inches of rain. in california, mud slides remain a growing concern in the burn areas of the san bernardino mountains. the sheriff's department there ordering people to evacuate. along the coast hilary could bring large swells and potentially life-threatening rip currents. visitors and some residents on catalina island were encouraged to leave on saturday. in los angeles, people filled sandbags ahead of hilary's arrival. mayor karen bass said today the city is prepared, but a big concern right now is for people who are homeless. yesterday sheriff's office flying over the riverbed areas warning people there to seek higher ground. [ indiscernible ] >> governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency in much of southern california. he says more than 7,000 responders are on the ground. we are tracking all of the latest developments on tropical storm hilary. let's start with you, allison chinchar in the weather center, what is the path of the storm? >> right now, still off the coast of baja california. sustained winds of 70 miles per hour, so a high-end tropical storm at this point, the forward movement north-northwest at 25 miles per hour and the former speed keeps ticking up ever so slightly and the landfall time that we are expected to cross over land is also speeding up. we anticipate that it arrives across california later on this afternoon local time, likely between 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. and it will continue to make its way up to nevada and continuing to weaken as it does, as well and regardless of how much this storm weakens, the rain will be the big story here. we we are starting to see the moderate and heavy bands continuing to spread across california, southwestern, arizona and eventually into nevada, as well. you are starting to see the heavy rain push farther west places like l.a. and san diego, but you will start to see more of a shift and the heavier rain bands continuing to push farther east as we get later into the afternoon. widespread rainfall totals two to four inches and some spots can pick up six, eight, ten inches of rain. two to four inches might not sound like that much east of the rockies where it's common with thunderstorms, but for this area it's not. take a look at this image. this is from last summer. death valley national park, severe weather caused the cars to be trapped in mud. since then that was less than an inch and a half. we are forecasting two to four inches in the less than 24-hour time period. you are talking about a year's worth of rain in 24 hours and in some areas it will be the same scenario, and that's also why you have the excessive risk for flooding and not just for death valley, but also las vegas, san diego, los angeles, all of these areas have the potential to have that flood risk. not only today, but continuing into the day on monday. here you can see a lot of those really heavy bands begin to set up late this afternoon and into the evening local time. it will continue through the evernig overnight hours and through monday morning. you will not see the moisture retreating from the southwest until we get to monday afternoon and especially into monday evening and that's because the rain at that point is now pushing into the pacific northwest. so it's just shifting into a different area. winds are also going to be a concern. you have high wind warnings and all of these areas in red and the orange indicating a wind advisory. we're talking wind gusts, 50 to 60 miles per hour and trees can come down and power lines. we'll likely have power outage issues in a lot of states, not just southern california. you'll notice a lot of these areas especially in the afternoon, and ticking up 30, 40 miles per hour by the overnight and you're talking 50 to 60 miles per hour and once we get into remember it especially the latter half of the day you'll start to see them calming down into the 10, 15, maybe max 20-mile-per-hour range into the rest of the day on monday. you have hilary here and also pointing out, too, fred you have a lot of activity in the ocean basins right now. we have newly formed tropical storm emily out into the atlantic and we'll be keeping a close eye and monitoring these over the next couple of days. >> that is a lot of activity and i'm trying to keep up and writing all of this down because i know it will impact so many people over the next 24 hours. thank you so much, allison chinchar. appreciate that. >> now to palm springs about a hundred miles east of los angeles. the mayor there is pleading with residents to stay inside. cnn's stephanie elam is live for us in palm springs. what are they bracing for there, stephanie? >> we are bracing for a whole lot of water in a place that's not used to getting this much water at all, fred. we've gone through a couple of sprinkles there. take advantage of not having a jacket on because we expect to fully be in jackets by the time we get into the later afternoon hours. take a look at what she said they're doing right now. >> at this point, we are asking residents to stay inside, stay where they are. we don't have any reason to evacuate at this time. we have closed down preemptively three of our roads that are regularly flooded. we do know that there's going to be flooding because, like i said, even an inch or two of rain in the desert can cause damage. >>. >> yeah. i can't stress how bizarre it is to have rain in august in southern california. this is one of the major roads that the mayor has was talking about that they closed down here. they get yets on these roads already without rain. just to be safe, because of potential flooding they've shut it down. out in the distance there, there's interstate 10 and people have been coming down here trying to get on the highway and the police officers here, that's where you would find joshua tree national park and that's also supposed to see a lot of flooding. they're worried about the mud flow flows and worried about how much flooding there will be and they want people to stay safe, stay inside and most of the reason that we see interruptions in service is because of debris flying around in the wind that then knocks out poles or knocks out some of their towers. because of that, they have crews stacked for 24 hours looking for that, looking to restore service and similarly in other parts of the state, as well. overall, this is a very bizarre thing and that is why we have seen in all of our social media, l.a. county, san diego, all of them putting out, fema, the state of california, putting out messages itting people to be prepared because no one looks at the weather in august, fred. it's just beautiful all of the time. maybe too hot, but no one is expecting range, and they want to get the message out to make sure people are being safe. >> well, it's hard to prepare for this. people are having to heed warnings, and prepare as best you can with the sandbagging and stay inside and those are paramount because a wind event and a rain event, pretty astounding to hear a year's worth of rain in one 24 to 36-hour period. so, all right. we'll be paying attention to you and everybody else, stephanie elam, thank you so much. a short time ago the mayor of los angeles warned residents to stay home as the storm nears its historic and rare landfall on the west coast. over the past few days the city family has been working around the clock to prepare for the storm and we are just beginning to see it hit los angeles. our message today is clear, stay safe, stay home and stay informed. this is an unprecedented weather event, but los angeles has deep experience responding to crisis. whether it be wildfire or earthquake, the city is prepared. a lot of work has already been done to prepare and there are a few critical areas of focus. our primary mission, of course is to protect the life and property of angelinos. second, we need to keep our city workers safe. third, we must ensure that city services are operating as best as possible given the circumstances. >> last night, chief crowley who is the incident commander activated the emergency operation center to level 2. it was very important that we started in-person preparation last night so that this morning we were already in action. last night i also signed a declaration of local emergency to immediately activate the emergency operations organization and waived any regulation that may inhibit the saving of lives here in los angeles. >> i want to thank president biden and vice president harris as well as governor newsom for their support in preparation and their pledges to support with recovery as needed. rid right now, again, it is critical that angelinos stay safe and stay home unless directed by officials. avoid unnecessary travel. if you do not need to be on the road please don't get in your car. make sure your emergency kit and essential devices are on hand and ensure that all of your devices are charged. in the event of life-threatening emergency, angelinos should call 911 for impacts like roadway flooding, tree limbs blocking roads or mud slides, angelinos should request service online or by calling 311. in the event of power outages, our water main breakage, los angeles department of water and power customers can call 1-800-dial, d-i-a-l, dwp. if you see downed power lines or wires please do not approach them. the water surrounding the wires could cause serious injury or death. just to reiterate one last time, stay safe, stay home and stay informed. >> all right, from the los angeles mayor karen bass. state emergency officials are also very concerned about areas like los angeles, concerned that they'll see double their yearly amount of water in just a single day, lingering burn scars from wildfires are very susceptible to flash flooding and debris flows. i want to bring in now giuliett kayyem to talk about this. she is a cnn secure national security analyst and former analyst at the department of homeland security and author of the book "the devil never sleeps." good to see you. what is the number one priority in your view for southern california and those cities right now? ? so it's the protection of human life, period, as the mayor was saying and that's all that matters and it's relatively easy for those that are with homes which is to just stay home. we know how to do this. we lived through covid. the worst parts of it will be over by midday monday. you do that one to protect yourself, two, because you don't want to put first responders in harm's way because you're out and about. everyone can stay put. the second is -- is people thinking that this was not as bad as we thought it was going to be. a little science here. hurricane categories are based on wind speed, not water released and so the wind may be going down. that's good news because then you'll have less damage, but the rain forecasts are pretty bad and this is land that does not get this kind of rain, that cannot sustain, there's nowhere for the water to go except for the kind of flash flooding we're worried about, and that goes to the, you know, the cumulative impact of these climate disasters. so you have the drought and the fires related to the drought. that then leaves land that is then more susceptible to flash flooding because there's no vegetation that can sort of, absorb the water and this is the cumulative impact, but human life, number one, stay put. >> while state emergencies officials are undering kl calans to not underestimate the concern e sleshlly it's been downgraded to first a cat gory 4 and now to tropical storm status, but still, a very potentially dangerous and people might feel i feel more confident about things that it has been downgraded. >> that's exactly right. and water kills and the things in water kills. flash floods, if anyone's ever seen them or experienced them, they come quickly without much notice. if you're inside we're going to be safer if you're elevated and that's better and the second is of course, even if the waters pass and there is a foot or water or two feet of water you don't know what's underneath that water in term of electrical things or things that can puncture your skin or things that can cause great harm. there is just no need to risk this at this stage because we know -- we essentially know when it ends and then you rebuild. so for los angelinos and everyone in the area, this is when they can take responsibility for their own safety and security. we can debate and fight and worry about climate change and the cumulative climate disasters on monday, but right now, stay put. >> just a moment ago we saw images of one of the last ferry rides from catalina island to the los angeles area for a lot of people with those kind of, you know, vulnerabilities in southern california, some folks might forget you are actually from the los angeles area. >> i am. >> this is home for you, so you know more about the vulnerabilities aside from catalina island. other concerns that there might be in southern california, what are they? so t . >> so there's a couple. i want to say to the surfer community, none of this is cute. get away from the water. catalina and other places that are evacuated, just stay put. the reason they called if there are elderly people that might need medical needs, you want to make sure that they'll be safe and two maengor issues for angelinos and there are diverse city and lots of information is being translated by monitoring really sophisticated and great communications strategy by the mayor and her team in terms of getting out to those pockets of immigrant communities or whatever communities that may not have english as a first language and you want to get those language translations out. the second is think, the homeless issue and those without homes. there's been an extensive effort to get people into shelters and those are communities that are hard to reach and ones that are hard to move and those are challenges that you would have in a community. you have an entire city not used to this, right? a hurricane, none of us were alive and communities can't get acclimated as you know in the gulf wear and other areas that they get acclimated to the kinds of disasters they expect in this age where the climate changes and the weather changes are causing these unprecedented and historical events, the kinds of fires we saw in maui and the kinds of rains we're seeing in los angeles. your populations are not ready for them and that's why education and communications are sort of the key role of leadership now. >> all right. giuliett kayyem, thank you very much. all great perspective. appreciate it. >> thank you. still ahead, we'll continue our coverage of tropical storm hilary. it is expected to unleash floods, fierce winds and heavy downpours in southern california. the effects are already being felt there. plus, the storm slamming baja california and mexico right now. just take a look at these images. one person has died there. we'll bring you the latest. ♪(epic music)♪ my renaissance was daring to dream.
